A longitudinal study was designed to assess the effects of infertility as well as the influence of the subsequent medical investigation on marital functioning. During their initial visit at a fertility clinic, 165 couples underwent psychological assessment. Questionnaires were completed to assess stress, sexual satisfaction, and marital adjustment. Participants were categorized into those who became pregnant during the 12 months of the study (n = 48 couples) and those for whom treatment was not successful (n = 117 couples). Significant increases in stress and decreases in marital functioning were experienced by subjects as the treatment investigation progressed. Furthermore, greater levels of marital distress were observed in couples that did not conceive. Significant gender differences were observed.
一项纵向研究旨在评估不孕症的影响以及后续医学检查对婚姻关系的影响。在首次前往生育诊所就诊时，165对夫妇接受了心理评估。完成了问卷调查以评估压力、性满意度和婚姻调适情况。参与者被分为在研究的12个月内怀孕的夫妇（n = 48对）和治疗未成功的夫妇（n = 117对）。随着治疗调查的推进，受试者的压力显著增加，婚姻关系功能下降。此外，未受孕的夫妇中观察到更高程度的婚姻困扰。观察到了显著的性别差异。
